London: Actor Rowan Atkinson, popularly known as Mr Bean, has been discharged from hospital after suffering a shoulder fracture in an accident.

The 56-year-old was hospitalised after he crashed his luxury McLaren F1 car. The car spun off the road, hitting a tree and a road sign before catching fire.

Atkinson was seen leaving the hospital in Peterborough, England, in a wheelchair and was driven away in an ambulance.

"I understand he has a fractured shoulder blade which is very painful and why he needed to stay in overnight. He is shaken but not stirred. I think he was in pain and had painkillers," mirror.co.uk quoted Atkinson`s representative Peter Bennett-Jones as saying.

"The car has been removed and I`m sure he won`t want it to be written off. He will want to get it repaired straight away... He will be very rattled and I think he`ll want to keep as low profile as possible," Bennett-Jones added.
